This is Dracula in name only. The Dracula character is more like a mix of Houdini and Tesla.All the familiar Stoker characters are mostly the opposite of what you would expect. Van Helsing is the bad guy ,Renfeild looks like an NFL linebacker.If you are a Dracula fan this may not be for you.Also, the series has been canceled,so the story just stops and none of the main story lines get resolved.

This is beautifully shot, and I love Jonathan Rhys Meyers...but I just can't get into it. As a fan of Dracula and JRM, this seemed like a perfect fit for me...but watching it, it comes off as more of a creepy soap opera. The production is top notch and the blu-ray is good quality, I just expected a little more from it. If you are a fan, by all means, get it.

I ADORED this show when it first aired, and am BEYOND psyched it's finally available to own. This show is first and foremost, great, campy fun. If you're looking for a serious treatise on Dracula, look elsewhere. If you're looking for some awesome Jonathan Rhys-Myers moments with bonus corsets, camp and girl love, this is the show for you.

Great Show!

I wish they didn't cancel this show after 1 season. It was a really great show and another season would have shown that. The plot and characters were very well written. The scenes were time period correct and imaginative. However, this was not a show for prime time TV; it was more suited to a premium channel like HBO or Showtime.

Interesting take on Dracula

Not saying this is a masterpiece of Television brilliance, but it was an interesting alternate take on the Dracula mythos. Too bad it got cancelled. Perhaps if it had been allowed to continue what flaws it did have may have been worked out...or maybe it would have gotten worse. LOL I guess we'll never know.

This is a different take on the Dracula story that is fun & fast-moving. I'm in the middle of watching season 1, not sure if there is a season 2 being done, & I can't wait to find out what happens. Fun if you are a Dracula fan.

Good - Not Impressive

The show is a good space filler, but I will probably NOT continue into the next season. The show would have been better suited for HBO or Netflix, where the creators would have more liberties than they do with mainstream network.
